It actually is an old concept.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

YES. "Humany wumany" made me cringe.

As a woman, it annoys me too. You're not alone there.

I had some issues with the episode, but I actually agree; this is my favorite Smith Xmas episode by far. I didn't care at all for the Christmas Carol one or whatever the one before was (there was another, right? I can't even remember what it might have been about).

I couldn't figure out why the Doctor suddenly didn't need to breathe air, out there in space, and so could just float around after his spacesuit. AFAIK Timelords still need oxygen.

So what? Does that mean she deserves to be shunned or something?

That would be AWESOME.

As the mother of two young girls, I really wish Demi hadn't stepped out of the picture like she did. My girls loved "Camp Rock" (and I even found it semi-bearable, which was nice because so much stuff for kids is just bleh) and my husband and I were happy to let them watch it for that very reason: a positive role…

I don't care how much straight whiskey you're drinking, if you're doing lines of cocaine you're not passing out drunk. Trust me on that one.

My thought exactly. Really, that squeaky little lisp in an action film? People will laugh their butts off.

It's the same in many novels for women as well, especially romance/women's fiction. And if you write a nontraditional, flawed female lead, you will get big backlash, sadly.

No Carmex? Carmex is my thing. I like Blistex, too, because that stuff WORKS; talk about soft lips very fast/healing the chapping. I'm currently using Blistex's DCT, which comes in a little pink tub, and it works really well/is really moisturizing, too, though without the OMGBLAST of regular Blistex, but I think…

That's what I thought.

Really? Because I honestly don't know what my reaction was supposed to be, but to me it kind of looked like "Your Chapsticks are missing because you keep shoving them inside yourself."

He wants you, too, Malachy! HE WANTS YOU TOO!!

Lol, good for her! :-)

"Physical release technician?"

We had a—I'm not sure the correct way to put it, sorry, but he was essentially mentally and emotionally slow—boy at my high school; he graduated the same year I did but he'd been at the school for seven years at that point. Anyway. I don't remember his name because everyone called him "Cheese," which is what he liked…

Congratulations!! Best wishes to you and your little one!
